Show HN: Weekend Project - Website Uptime Monitoring Service

6 points

10 years ago

A couple of months back, I had come across this promising-looking app on github - a website uptime monitoring service[1] built with Node.js, MongoDB, and Bootstrap, so I had whipped up a DO droplet[2], registered a (free) .tk domain[3] and after a weekend of messing about (mainly via ssh), had created a (stock) working service (and then promptly forgotten about it):

http://monitup.tk:8082/dashboard/checks

Turned out to be a lot better than I had expected!

Now, while there are many such (free and paid) services available out there, I do think one more can't hurt, especially with some more value additions thrown-in, that I have thought about. What do you all think? All comments, ideas, suggestions welcomed. :-)

Note: As of now, you can freely add site/s too.
